Participants visiting a local site in Rio de Janeiro connected to the transatlantic slave trade during a three-day GIJTR roundtable on global racism in Rio de Janeiro in December 2023. The gathering brought together nearly fifty policy makers and civil society representatives from 14 countries to discuss how racism is a risk factor for atrocity crimes.
Guests at the launch of GIJTR’s State of Truth in the World Report held at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in October 2023. In an address at the event, Lonnie Bunch, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, said, “There is nothing more powerful than a people steeped in their history. There is nothing more dangerous than a community that doesn’t know or is prevented from knowing its history.”
